A SMALL REAL ESTATE BOOM.
The Market Becomes Somewhat More Active,
and Several Important Sales Are Made.

The real estate market opened mp last week
with greater activity, and it is believed it will
continue throughout the spring and summer.
During the week there were fifty seven transfers,
with q total consideration of $175,30
The amount is not exceptionally
large, but it is such an increase
over previous weeks that it lends a very encour-
aging view Of the outlook, to say the least The
largest transaction of the week was the sale of
the Washington street building SO long occupied
by Robert Browning, the druggist, to Alphonso
p Pettis, of Pettis, Bassett g. Co., for $65, 000
The building will be remodeled and i'm
proved, and will, after short time,
be occupied by the New York Store. James L.
Bradley disposed of the block at the corner of
Indiana avenue and Tennessee streets to Simon
Yandes for $4,000. Alex. Heron, secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture, purchased the
residence of A. w. johnson, on North
Illinois street. for $4,000. There
were quite number of transfers
ranging from four to ten thousand dollars, but
the majority were for small amounts. A great
many vacant lots in the city suburbs have been
sold to citizens who will build upon them the
coming summer. For the next few weeks the
indications are that there will be some very
large transfers.

Pigs Poisoned and in Paradise.

A neighbor killed his pigs last spring
with too much kindness. The first sow
which farrowed had ten, and as pigs
were scarce and high he concluded to
make his nice, so he fed the SOW well on
corn-meal and barley. He began as
soon as the pigs were born, and as they
did not seem to do well he increased
the food. In few days he gave the
SOW (only year old) three quarts at a
mess, fed three times day. The pigs
grew poorer, and within four weeks
they all died. When about half of the
second litter were dead it came to him
that he possibly had overfed the sows,
and he reduced the food and saved the
other pigs. So much fever was created
by the excessive amount of food given
to these sows that their milk was dried
up and the little they had was poisonous
to the young pigs. A sow should have
nothing more than little drink for the
first forty-eight hours after giving birth
to young. In state of nature they eat
nothing, but lie quietly in the nest. A
great many pigs are injured by over
feeding the mothers. 1t will do no
harm if SOW is not fed at all for
twenty-four hours. The food should
always be light--no more than shorts
for week, and the SOW and pigs will
do all the better if they do not get any
stronger food for four weeks. When
sows are shut in a pen a feed every
day of green grass or weeds will do them
a great deal of good. AS soon as the pigs
are old enough to follow the sow to
the field | drive them there. Here
they are happy. The little pigs skip
and play in the sun and lie and sleep
and grow The mothers, after their
long confinement in their pens, fairly
revel in the fresh, cool grass. Little
sheds are built about the field and here
are the homes of the different filters.

A Suggestion.

We have found it an excellent prac-
tice to cut heavy grass in the afternoon,
when one could have confidence in the
weather, and we presume other farmers
are doing the same thing. 1t is a
pretty difficult matter for a practical
farmer, and one who knows other
farmers, their ability and experience,
to undertake to teach them great deal
about the various operations of the
farm. They have ability and expert
ence, and where these are given fair
show by using reason and not blindly
following in an old rut the creatures of
habit, this kind of farmer knows just
as much of farming operations as an
agricultural editor, and infinitely more
than the city theorist, who assumes to
try to teach the farmers the simplest
things, which they know more about
than their self-appointed teachers ever
thought of or ever will. This is why
we have always urged that farmers
should write more for their agricul-
tural papers, or their family papers,
rather, which should contain that which
interests the family, each and several.
Why not do it?
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1887-07-06

contented is to drive them, with their
mothers, to one of these sheds, and here
they will return to sleep. Not more
than three filters are put together in
this way, as they are apt to rob each
other and to bunch up too much. The
pasture is the pigs paradise. The little
fellows will begin to eat grass when
three weeks old, and it is the best of
food. Pig-keeping for any profit be-
yond the range of the extra milk and
kitchen slops turns on grass. In grass
there is profit; and hogs can be kept
without vexation if things are fitted for
them. 1t is no trouble to turn dozen
sows into pasture with a nice shed
for them to sleep under. This | have
done. There must be water for them
to drink, and it should be pure. Here
hogs will be healthy; and they will en-
rich the field. When SOW is likely to
have pigs she is taken out and put in a
small lot, or pen, by herself, and when
the pigs are week old she goes back
to grass.-F. d. Curtis, IN Ne'o York
Tribune,

Missing Seeds.

Commissioner Colman says that he has
received hundreds if not thousands " of
complaints from parties who have failed to
receive packages of seeds mailed to them
by the department of agriculture Noti-
fcations were sent at the same dates at
which the seeds were mailed, but while the
former arrived safely the latter We're stolen
on the way. The commissioner laments
that seeds going out under the frank of
the department seem to be considered COM
mon property" and says that somebody
connected with the postal service ought to
have fine garden this year if he has taken
all the seeds that have been missed" Thou
sands of people who would not swindle
private person out of a dollar would have
no scruples in cheating the government out
of thousand; and in the present case it is
evident that some of this class forget that it
isn't the government, but the people to
whom the seeds are sent, who are the losers
by their dishonesty The fact that the seeds
cost them nothing, and may be worth only
what they cost, has nothing to do with the
morality of the matter they were entrusted
to the mail for safe delivery and should be
as safely delivered as if they were so many
pearls or diamonds. The post-ofice official
who would steal seeds would be very likely
to steal other mail matter also. There ought
not to be much trouble in detecting the
guilty, and when found there should be no
hesitation about turning the rascals ont.
This, from an exchange, shows new
and heretofore unsupported depth of
depravity, though we wish it had been
our seeds which were stolen. Anybody
who would steal government seeds
would not be safe to have in a grave
yard where there were tomb-stones that
could be carried away. We received a
lot of these seeds the past spring, and in
spite of our former experience was fool
enough to SOW them. The result is
that where there should be carrots, pars-
nips, melons and other things there is
nothing but weeds, and if we have good
luck they will get hoed up. This seed
business, as carried on, is all wrong,
1t is a cheap way for the congressman
to get themselves advertised to their
constituents and affords no end of a
chance for job in the department.
